Visiting Ibiza on a tight budget? Or just enjoying getting value for your money? After visiting Ibiza several times over the last few years I have some experience in getting my euros to stretch longer on the Mediterranean party island.
Ibiza can be an expensive island to visit.
All the restaurants, bars and salesmen are trying to part you with as much of your money as possible.
After all, the peak summer season only lasts for a few months, and the money derived from tourist are supposed to help them until next year.
Here are my top three tips on how to save money when visiting Ibiza.
1.
Cheap hotel Book your stay at an unattractive and old 1970s style apartment hotel in Playa Bossa or Figueretes.
The hotels in this area is not modern, neither stylish.
But, the hotel rooms are sold at discount prices to attract guests.
When you stay at these hotels you are a 10-15 minute walk from the center of Ibiza Town.
Prices are EUR30-40 per room per night in the low season, double in peak season.
2.
Use your beach towel Do not hire sunbeds at the beach every day, EUR5 a each day for a sunbed accumulate to EUR70 for a 14 day stay.
Use your beach towel or enjoy life at the hotel pool.
3.
Great supermarket food If you go to the beach you can pick up some high quality Spanish Serrano ham, cheese, baguettes and a few beers at one of the many supermarkets.
Eat them at the beach instead of paying for lunch or dinner at fancy restaurants and cafes.
